Daughter L's Wedding

 Daughter L was married on the last weekend in August.  Here are some photos to share the occasion!

The Dress

Bride's Bouquet

The old Bible hanging from the bouquet hung from my own bridal bouquet and was used 

by my sisters and nephew in their weddings.  Hopefully it can be passed on to the next family 

wedding!

Chapel

This is the Ancaster Mill chapel where the wedding ceremony took place.  The Ancaster Mill is a scenic historic venue.  The reception was held in their restaurant. 

Daughter L orchestrated many fun events prior to and after dinner.  There was a room with an ice cream cart, candy bar, photo booth.  She even handmade fun puzzle sets for people to stay entertained, colouring pages for kids.

Candy Bar

Being originally an old mill, it is a very scenic venue with a waterfall and a stream running through it.

Watermelon Salad

cheesecake

The meal was incredibly delicious.  We were able to order from beef, chicken, salmon or vegetarian main courses.  Being a restaurant we were not required to make our selections ahead of time.

Wedding Cake

There was a mishap with the 3 tier buttercream wedding cake.  For some reason the bottom vanilla layer collapsed, maybe it was in the heat too long.  Fortunately I found a photo of the original cake. The venue was able to remove that layer and  we were shown the upper 2 layers at the time of cake cutting.  The topmost layer was pink champagne (a strawberry flavour).  The middle layer was chocolate.    The collapsed vanilla layer was served in slices so nothing went to waste.  In fact there was no leftover cake!  Apparently the cake baker said her secret is using real butter!

S'mores by the firepit

Some had fun roasting s'mores and even hot dogs by the firepit next to the waterfall area.  Daughter L thought of everything.  The venue allowed us to bring in our own marshmallows, chocolates and graham crackers to assemble the s'mores.  We also provided weiners for roasting.

It was a very successful event.  The groom said it was the happiest day of his life!  Daughter L is having fun saying 'My Husband' in her Instagram posts!

Everyone had a great time.

I don't normally post personal photos but if you made it this far, here is a modified photo of the happy young couple!
